UST

Tubeless Tyres by Continental work with both UST and Rigida/Nagesti rims and wheels. The tyre and rim form an airtight chamber. A tube is not necessary and pinchflats not possible anymore. In comparison to the conventional system, the tyre pressure can be lowered and the comfort of the ride increases. At a lower tyre pressure the tyre deforms more easily and so the contact patch of the tyre increases and the tread adapts to the ground more quickly, improving traction.

About MTB Off-Road Tyres

These tyres are for mountain bikes and intended primarily for off road use, the knobbly patterns provide grip when steering and traction when applying power to the pedals. There is usually a tyre to suit the conditions in which you are riding in so the right choice is important. On dry days a narrow tyre with a smoother central tread can be used, but on a wet day a wider tyre with a deeper knobbly tread pattern is essential or you could be the one in contact with the mud.

About the Continental brand

More than 100 years experience in the development and production of bicycle tyres has made Continental a unique company within the industry. Continental is the only German bicycle tyre manufacturer to produce its tyres in Germany. Knowing this serves as a mighty incentive to our engineers and everyone else involved in the manufacturing process to constantly strive for further innovations. In our technology and development center in Korbach, we are constantly developing new revolutionary technologies such as the unbeatable Black Chili Compound and the ultimate Vectran™ Breaker anti-puncture technology, both used at the top end of race sport. These technologies demand sophisticated processes to ensure our legendary end-product quality, and these innovations as well as the new “ProTection” and ”RaceSport” technology for MTB tyres, can only be manufactured in our factory in Germany – “Handmade in Germany”. In order to offer the best tyre for any application, we rely equally on dialogue with our professional racers, hobby cyclists and everyday bike riders.
This results not only in high-end products for top sports applications such as the new Podium TT or the revolutionary downhill tyre “Der Kaiser”, but also tyres for everyday use like the new innovative combination EcoContact/EcoContact Plus as a companion to the latest e-bike trend. As a global player, Continental also maintains high-tech production facilities outside of Germany, where Continental tyres are produced for you with an equal degree of care and dedication. One thing all Continental bicycle tyres have in common is that they are developed in the technology center in Korbach, Germany, where they also undergo strict inspection. Our heart and soul is behind the phrase “Handmade in Germany”, with all of its products and technologies.

Awesome UST tire
I have run this tire for two seasons. I run the tire on a UST rim without sealant, holds air well. The sidewalls are tough! I ride a lot of rock covered trails scuffing the sidewalls frequently. The grip is exceptional in dry and wet conditions.

Lovely and grippy.
Took the new tyres on the wiggle hill a saurus yesterday. Very wet and boggy in places. The tyres didn't miss a beat in the mud or on the flinty trails. I wish I could say the same for my legs!

Excellent, will buy more
Probably the best mountain bike tyres i've ever used. Off road the grip is excellent and for the manic commute through Manchester cycling in the gutter riddled with pot holes, nails and rubbish, not an issue.
